The dirtyoldDisco got invited to play at FestiVAL 2010 in a small town called Val in Mpumlanga… We made a road trip out of it… here is the story…

It’s really small, even on a map!

I rolled through to Game to get a nifty little tent (they were having a special… it was fate), packed my stuff and loaded up the gear into T-Bones car…On the way through town we got to see some Eugene Terror respect art outside the University of Pretoria…

Eugene Terror!

Bravo Pizzeria!

We picked up some Bravo’s pizza (it’s the shiz niz… find it on South Street, Hatfield, Pretoria) and finally made it onto the highway. Check out the shenanigans after the jump!

Tea Baggins!

The R23…

We drove behind this truck for a while… it was the most exciting part of driving to Mpumalnga.

The most eXciting part of the trip…

Finally after about 2 hours we rolled into Val, set up my new bitching tent and checked out the scenery. T-Bone even pushed a hoe.

Welcome to Val!

Pushin the hoe!

The local bar, the Moeggeploegkroeg, was pretty rad. We got some drinks there, watched some bands outside there, ate some sarmies in there, rick-overed after getting too wasted with drinks from there, took crotch shots there, drew in the guest book there and welcomed the bears there.

Moeggeploeg Menu!

Rick-overing…

T-Bone adding to the guest book…

Nice, we were there!

Chuckles and Will!

T-Bone and I played a cool set to those that were still awake enough to party with us, there were no photos, no one could see.

Saturday morning arrived and everyone felt like sh1t. I walked along the train line for a bit, checked out the town a bit more and then sat in the bar until we left. I ignored the drive home.

Feeling less than awesome…

Walking…

More of the town...

Even more…

And even more!

FestiVAL is a pretty rad little festival, it’s not too far from Gauteng and the get a way is good! I’ll see you there next year! Goodbye!

Kay bye!

^5!

Steve Aoki came to South Africa… we went along to the JHB show on 3 April… it was so awesome!

The gang and I all rolled through… we ran into old friends, we drank, we raved! Steve played some awesome tunes, some African tunes and some really weird tunes…

Photos after the jump!

Some african tune!

What I could see..

Woah!

T-Bone and Andrew Mohawk… eXcited Face!

Tengo jodido tipo grande! Sink or swim and what not… good times!

That’s what happens…

And then you hydrate…

^5!
